However, the show is largely expected to be placed into turmoil by Hurricane Ian, which continues to wreak havoc on the United States&#8217; east coast &#8211; particularly the State of Florida, where the majority of the WWE roster reside. Because of this, it is expected that the show will be without a number of WWE superstars unable to make it to tonight&#8217;s location of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and we may therefore witness a depleted roster. Additionally, the announced match card is subject to alteration and it is unknown whether the three advertised matches are going to take place.<\/p>\n<h3>Advertised Match Card May (or May Not) Go Ahead<\/h3>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Shotzi<\/strong> was scheduled to take on <strong>Bayley<\/strong> on tonight&#8217;s show. Bayley and <strong>Damage CTRL<\/strong> (<strong>Iyo Sky<\/strong> &amp; <strong>Dakota Kai<\/strong>) have been dominating since uniting last month. Should this match go ahead, it is difficult to see Shotzi overcoming Bayley. However, she may have assistance from Aliyah &amp; Raquel Rodriguez.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Los Lotharios<\/strong> (<strong>Angel<\/strong> &amp; <strong>Humberto<\/strong>) proved to be a thorn in the side of <strong>Hit Row<\/strong> (<strong>Dolla<\/strong> &amp; <strong>Adonis<\/strong>) last week and these two teams are scheduled to collide tonight, should all members of the match be in Winnipeg.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Ricochet<\/strong> and<strong> Madcap Moss<\/strong> have formed something of a friendship as of late and will be uniting tonight to take on the enforcer of <strong>The Bloodline<\/strong>,<strong> Solo Sikoa<\/strong>, and &#8220;Honorary Uce&#8221;, <strong>Sami Zayn<\/strong>. With tonight&#8217;s show taking place in Canada, we can be sure to see Sami, a Canadian, leading (or accidentally costing the match) his team to victory to a raucous ovation.<\/p>\n<h3>Not Announced But Expected for SmackDown<\/h3>\n<p>&#8211; Will <strong>Roman Reigns<\/strong> or<strong> Logan Paul<\/strong> be available to address the other ahead of their big money match at <strong><em>Crown Jewel<\/em><\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>The Brawling Brutes<\/strong> and <strong>Imperium<\/strong> can be expected to continue their hot feud.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Expect the &#8220;White Rabbit&#8221; teasers to be unaffected by the storm.<\/p>\n<h3>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/h3>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p><em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
